Product Description

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT So kick back, grab a beer, fire up the grill, hunker down, and enjoy the ride. Eighteen of Sci-fi and Horror’s most inventive and -- dare we say demented -- minds have come together to compose a vision of the future which will scare the “bejesus” out of most “normal” folk. “Listen up! The world as we know it is going to end, just as you thought -- only not for the reasons you predicted. It’s not the meek who’re going to inherit the earth, or the rich, or the famous, or the well-prepared. No, the folks who survive the end of civilization are those who never needed it much anyway and for reasons... well, you’re not likely to guess why, but I promise you, once you’ve read Bubbas of the Apocalypse, you’re going to have a whole new perspective on the real mainstays of South’m cuisine: Twinkies, Spam, and rot-gut red sauce.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, September 24, 2003

By	Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

In the year 2025, a deadly air born virus known as Yuppie 25 escaped from a secret government lab. It was believed to have been on a scrap of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of a scientist's shoe as he left work. Yuppie 25 spread around the world at lightning speed. Riots broke out as all the leaders in the world died out. No country had leadership or laws any longer. The Yuppie madness sent people into rages, murder went unchecked.

One scientist noticed that certain people of a certain class and life style seemed to be completely immune to the bug. Tests showed that they had an unusual enzyme in their blood that was traced to a cheap preservative used in generic barbecue sauce which apparently mutated when it was grilled. The people who had consumed large amounts of the barbecue sauce on grilled meats over their life times had built up a natural immunity to Yuppie 25. Within a few months most of the population of the earth was dead. Only Bubbas and their families survived untouched. All others were zombies.

Bubbas had become the last hope for humanity!

***** Twenty stories and poems, including the Forward, grace this over-sized, paperback anthology. Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, Red Neck jokes, and some pretty hilarious (if not warped) humor has been duct-taped together into stories for your enjoyment - by various authors whose sanity can not be guaranteed. I loved every bizarre tale! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge of the Bubbas, June 17, 2003

By	mrs_todd "mrs_todd" (NorthEast KS United States) - See all my reviews

The year is 2025 and a Government Plage is let loose that kills Yuppies, well some turn into human flesh eating Zombies. They continue their lives driving their BMW's and of course having Yuppie dinner parties. They are now called Yombies.

The Bubbas aren't infected and it's because of their preference for pork rinds, twinkies, spam, cheap Bar-b-Q sauce with meat cooked outdoors and of course cheap beer. No fancy foreign beer or cheese for these guys and gals just the real stuff.

Hillarious moments and some that are just downright funny if y'all have any bubba bones in your body. A few that have a higher gross factor.

To have taken on the task of outlining the basics of the story and then hand it out to various author to put their own twisted Bubba minds to work. Selina Rosen should be give a big hand, Yombie of course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Buy More Barbeque, September 18, 2001

By A Customer

You cannot read this book without laughing. The world has come to an end, and the only folks left to look after it are not necessarily the folks who care. Meet Bubbas with an itch to plug aliens. Zombies with a taste for human flesh. A wild and crazy riot of a time.
Definately a cult classic of a collection.
